Rabbi Nachman’s – Sayings & Teachings – From The Essential Rabbi Nachman
A treasury of sayings, teachings, parables and stories by the outstanding Chassidic sage, mystic and visionary, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810), whose message of faith, hope, courage, simplicity and joy is essential to each one of us and essential to the whole world.
Translated by Avraham Greenbaum
SERVING G-D – For His glory
Every person must minimize his own honor and maximize G-d’s honor. One who pursues worldly honor will not be worthy of experiencing G-d’s glory. Even if he attains some worldly status, people will constantly look at him askance and want to know who he is that he should be accorded such respect. But one who flees from honor – minimizing his own honor and maximizing that of G-d – will attain G-d’s glory.
The test of true repentance is when a person remains silent in the face of ridicule and abuse, patiently accepting all the insults thrown at him. This is how he slaughters his evil inclination, and then he will be worthy of G-d’s glory.
Sichot Haran #136
Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
“It is a great mitzvah to be happy.”

Azamra means “I will sing” (Psalms 146:2)
“And the way to sing the song of joy is by seeking the good in all people, especially in ourselves. Each good point is one more note in the song of life!”
